You're just laughing because we're all going to buy that issue!

Not me. I'll just wait for somebody else to get it and post the information here...

Which reminds me...shouldn't someone have it by now?

It's only been 3 days since it was shipped to subscribers. How fast does it usually get delivered?

When I had my subscription, I always got it about 2 or 3 days after someone posted the TOC here. So Im expecting another week.

Is it in the stores?

Is it in the stores?

According to the website, not until July 26.

The big project is not an AE book, however. It instead zeroes in on the heart of 3rd edition and the core rules. That, in fact, is the point of it, although it may not seem that way at first glance.

Hmm,

lets see. Monte wants to give the DM and the Players the power to make their own choices from a great variety of sources. The Classes of Arcana Evolved are one such Example.
And the product zeroes on the heart of the 3rd edition and the core rules.

Can it be, that he wrote a book about designing rules and ultimately a whole game? Can it be, that he gives us all the insights he gathered designing 3rd ed.? All the mathematics involved and such stuff?
This would indded be a big project but appeal only to a small audience.

I would definetly buy this, but I don´t think that this is the big product.

"We can't hire a whole writing staff. What we need is a caffiene-powered robot."

There's your announcement, ladies and gentlemen! Monte will finally admit to the world that Mike Mearls is, indeed, a caffiene-powered robot!

But he said it was a product... will we be able to buy our own caffiene-powered robots? Or play a d20 caffiene-powered robot RPG?

Yes.

I thought Monte mentioned somewhere that there were lots of stat blocks involved...

That sounds like an adventure to me...

(Or he went nuts with a book of templates. )


Or both!


Of course, he also called it a new "PRODUCT" which could mean...

CARDS!

Maybe Spell cards? Monster cards? NPC cards? Greeting cards?

D&D Texas Hold 'Em?
